Powered by the robust Caliber 565, it represents a highly attractive and well-documented example from Omega's mid-century design era. History The Omega Seamaster line, introduced in 1948, has long been a pillar of the brand's catalog, evolving through numerous design languages over the decades. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, Omega embraced the tonneau and C-shape case geometries, moving away from traditional round profiles to offer a more substantial presence on the wrist. The Caliber 565 automatic movement is highly regarded among collectors for its durability and precision, serving as a reliable engine for many of Omega's finest models during this period. This reference 166.067 demonstrates the distinct styling and mechanical quality that define Omega's late-century production. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-SXX-0030
